Victrix Plastic Model Figures
Athenian Armoured Hoplites (28mm) VXA001
This 28mm hard plastic set from Victrix portrays Athenian Hoplites during the classical period of Ancient Greece. Representing the warriors of Athens from the late Persian Wars through the Peloponnesian War and beyond, these miniatures reflect the strength and discipline of one of history’s most iconic citizen armies.
The set contains 48 highly detailed Hoplites with a wide variety of customisation options. There are multiple body types, nine head variants—seven of which come in two-part halves—and options for officer crests, musicians, and character poses. You can build Hoplites with thrusting spears, spears at rest, or swords, with additional accessories like cloaks and scabbards to enhance individuality.
This versatile kit is fully compatible with other Victrix Greek Hoplite sets (Theban, Mercenary, etc.), allowing you to blend parts and create dynamic units with visual depth. Whether forming tight phalanxes or standing proud as individual warriors, these figures bring ancient Athens to life on the wargaming table or display shelf.

History:
The Athenian Hoplite was the backbone of classical Greek warfare. Armed with a long spear, short sword, and large round shield (aspis), and protected by a bronze helmet and body armour, these warriors formed the core of Athens’ phalanx formations. From the battles of Marathon and Plataea to the bitter civil strife of the Peloponnesian War, Athenian Hoplites played a central role in shaping the ancient world. Trained as citizen-soldiers, they fought with pride, discipline, and unity, embodying the ideals of the polis. This Victrix set captures the elegance and might of these historical warriors, offering builders an array of options to reflect their diversity and tactical precision.
